Thanks for always making me smile, for talking to me and I hope you’re doing okay too. I hope you’re happy and thriving despite whatever situations you might have. Thanks, thanks, thanks!! So please come back so I can talk to you again I’ll be awaiting your return *moustache and monocle face while sipping tea*

OHMYGOSH, SO THE RUMOURS ARE TRUE!! SHE'S BACK! I mean I never heard any rumours but you ARE back so at least that's true xD to be honest, I'm not quite sure what to say (there's a surprise xD) because it's sort of been an extremely long time since we last talked; I don't really know when the last proper conversation we had was I'd want to ask how you are, how's life, are you doing better than you were before?

And I saw your reply to my post on your profile from ages ago where you said you're doing much better, so that answers that question. I kinda need more characters than this comment box would allow but in short, I'm super happy and proud of you for becoming happier, and it's truly wonderful to see you back here <3

we've known each other for over 4 and a half years and it's so crazy to think what's changed since 2016. Remember the Aypi incident? (is that classified? can we talk about that xD) I mean I'm 100% sure you do remember it but woahhh that feels like forever ago. Remember how the world looked so different back then? Everyone was much younger and definitely more cringy, or at least I was xD

This is a very disjointed series of paragraphs because like I said, I'm kinda not sure what to say it's really good to see you, Lia. And to know that you're doing alright and you didn't forget that brokenlens existed xD and yesss, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I had a truly amazing Christmas and I'm loving the holiday season, even if it's flying by way too quickly D:

I can't believe it's gonna be the end of 2020 in just about 5 days time and I'm hoping that over the course of 2021 we'll all be able to say goodbye for good to coronavirus ^-^ it's been a heck of a weird year. I hope your Christmas was absolutely wonderful and you got to spend it surrounded by some awesome people, even if Christmas wasn't exactly what we thought it was gonna be like!

Anyway so in summary - I'm really happy to see you again and equally happy to know you're doing alright <33 thank you for being you, Lia.

I had no idea you were my number one fangirl- I’ll keep that in mind~ Pfffft, just talk in a convo with me if there’s too much to ask. I’ll just try and keep it all concise here! ^v^ Half the time I have no idea what to say so just shout whatever; I won’t care Thanks for supporting me during a difficult time in my life and encouraging me to go get help. I never told you this but you gave me the push I needed.

I didn’t think my problems were worth anyone’s concern (cuz y’know, no one ever really cared if they saw me in pain at school) and what I wanted was someone to recognise that how I was living wasn’t okay and you provided that.

Because of your push, I exchanged emails with a help service, forced myself to show those emails to my mum who then alerted my teachers at school (who looked out for me so much during sixth form) and found me someone to talk to. That change started with you so thank you.

Yes, I remember. I really thought we’d get in trouble for that lol~ I still feel bad about tearing Sam down like that - I could’ve been a bit nicer about it. Dude, we were all cringe ack. I’m never shipping anyone again; I got a taste of that irl and it’s exhausting. I failed to dispel rumours about me and others that made them feel uncomfortable and I just ugh.

Soon it’ll be 5 years we would have known each other WOOP WOOP!!!! I’m glad I got a taste of the apocalypse but oof, 0 stars, would not recommend. I’m sure things will be better!! \(^o^)/

Hi! Firstly I'd like to say I'm so sorry for the very late reply and I promise the next one won't be so late yes you got me there, I'm your #1 fangirl, totally no sarcasm whatsoever -cough- what an honour it is to be Lia's biggest fan!
But in all seriousness, I'm happy I was able to help in a small way and I'm even happier that you were able to come out of that dark time.

I don't know exactly how you're doing now - given that it's been 3 weeks since your comments here - I'm not sure whether you're currently feeling on top of the world or whether you're just a little bit better than before but either way, it's wonderful. I'm writing this at nearly 2 am and my late night messages sometimes feel incoherent and just generally weird but hopefully I'm making sense!

I hope you're giving yourself credit. Like, the people working at the help service are incredible, and I'm sure your mum is too. But ultimately, change comes down to you, or at least that's what I've learned. People can provide so much help and support and love and encouragement but in the end, no one can change your life for you apart from yourself.

And that's, well, that's kinda terrifying and sad but also pretty inspiring because how powerful we are - humans are truly phenomenal in that respect, the way we're able to pull ourselves out of the darkest places. Ok I'm really going off on a tangent now but yeah. Lia, you're awesome, I'm really glad you're around <3
